Does someone who wants to buy season tickets get offered shittier seats if they aren't a JC resident?

Nope. The Chiefs give them the best seat available in the area they choose.

In our case, the Chiefs are basically telling a group of fans that just shelled out over $2500 that their business isn't that important.

I shouldn't be surprised, considering the shitty customer service Nzoner and KCFish dealt with getting this thing organized.


again it was VOTED on and agreed to when the renovation deal went through.


Dont like it? move there. sorry.

There was verbiage in the deal that guaranteed JC residents better seats than what was sold prior to the general public sale?

You ask for an opinion of what SHOULD be done. I gave mine. If you don't want an honest answer, why ask the question? I KNOW what the deal IS, I didn't like it then and don't like it now.

probably not, BUT if you wanted better seats you should have fought for them when the group bought the tickets. are they letting people that actually bought season tickets already upgrade their seats BEFORE they go on sale to the JC res?


i'm asking that because i dont know.



and whats wrong with saving some good seats for the people that you know are actually PAYING for the upgrades?

Chiefs have always let JC residents get first crack at single game tickets, this is nothing new.

Which is it?

It was either voted on that better seats would be set aside for JC residents to buy during the single game purchasing dates, or it wasn't voted on - yet you keep claiming it's part of the deal.

True. I know they have been for quite some time, don't know when it started, but unlike what he's saying it didn't start with the renovation vote.

That's not what's being argued.

Yes, JC residents have always had the first opportunity to buy any REMAINING tickets to single games.

I've never been witness to them setting aside better seats for the general public sale, however - and that is what I'm arguing.

I talked to a rep yesterday, and you can still get season tickets in row 2 or 3 in every upper deck end zone section at that end of the field.

So (most of) our group books in advance and has to buy another ticket, while some slapdick Jackson County resident can buy seats in the 3rd ****ing row of the same section we're in.
Every Pro and College team in America set aside the crappy seats for groups. Easier to put larger numbers together, and it is easier to get rid of single tickets or 2 together in row one or two.
You should learn about the business model of sports and ticket sales before you bitch.

Ahhh shit man, I didn't know that. I can see if I can change my flight if that helps you out? Maybe I can fly back out of KC or StL if someone else can get me to the airport.

Dude, you're talking about an organization that is lucky to get 30k per game and has nothing but open seating behind the 2nd row of the upper deck in the end zones - where we're sitting.

The business model you described is understood and expected in a market like New York or Boston where tickets are at a premium.

Not in a market where over half of the stadium is empty after season tickets are accounted for.

And FTR, I know of at least one pro team that doesn't use that strategy - and they sold out 30+ of 41 home dates last year while missing the playoffs.

I'm sure their customer service and willingness to put the fan first had nothing to do with it.
